| New King James Version | King James Bible |
| 1A Song of Ascents. Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, Who walks in His ways. | 1A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. |
| 2When you eat the labor of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. | 2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. |
| 3Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table. | 3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. |
| 4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the LORD. | 4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. |
| 5The LORD bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem All the days of your life. | 5The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. |
| 6Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel! | 6Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. |
